I'd also like to see revitalisation of remailer research. Though anonymity as Tor is designed is specifically about unlinkability. To reduce it to sender anonymity is pretty ... ridiculous. What one does with an anonymous communications channel is up to them - many people do actually want that feature for chatting, web browsing, news, email, etc. All the best, Jacob _______________________________________________ cryptography mailing list cryptography@randombit.net http://lists.randombit.net/mailman/listinfo/cryptography
